In response to the boycott, L.L. Bean executive chairman Shawn Gorman posted a Facebook message on the companys page over the weekend saying that the company does not get involved in politics.

L.L.Bean does not endorse political candidates, take positions on political matters, or make political contributions, he wrote. Simply put, we stay out of politics. To be included in this boycott campaign is simply misguided, and we respectfully request that Grab Your Wallet reverse its position.

Bean responded to the controversy during a Thursday appearance on Fox and Friends, referring to the boycott as a case of bullying.
